About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com



I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

The quick and dirty story - I have moved to 5 different states over the last 6 years...no I am not running from the law! My career has presented me with great opportunities to live pretty much all over the country. Just arrived in Pittsburgh on Feb 3. So, right now I'm in a major transitional phase. Soon it will be time to start all over again, focus on making a success of this amazing job opportunity, meeting new friends, getting settled, etc. I'm friendly, outgoing, fun, (or so I like to think,) and generally can be counted on to cause a ruckus!

My Interests

Hmm, I dabble in a lot of little things - I enjoy theatre and art, but am also happy canoeing down a river! Love having dinner with friends, hanging out, having a few drinks. While I'd probably rather stay in on a Friday night and rent a movie, I also enjoy getting dressed up and hitting the bars and clubs. I'd say I'm open to trying just about anything once...ok, ok, maybe twice!

I'd like to meet:

Might be best if I lived in a cave these days.

Music:

So many bands, so little time! Off the top of my head: Jimmy Eat World, Sublime, Authority Zero, The Format, Franz Ferdinand, The Killerz, Green Day, Violent Femmes, Nickelback, Relient K, Dazy Head Mazy. Also like the pop stuff - Kelly Clarkson, Avril Levigne, Ashlee Simpson, Ryan Cabrera, (you'd think I was 16, not 27!) Oh, and generally I'm all for club trax..."The System is Down!"

Movies:

This is Spinal Tap, Empire Records, Eurotrip, 40 Year Old Virgin, Old School, Dodgeball, Wedding Crashers, Godfather Trilogy, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Team America: World Police, The Faculty, Centre Stage, Best in Show, Sixteen Candles, Can't Hardly Wait, Arsenic and Old Lace, and just about any Christmas movie...Noticing a trend of bad movies? Yeah, generally I like the cheesy stuff, though here and there I go for a classic, or something worth while. Movies don't always have to be about art - its ok to be about entertainment!

Television:

Don't really watch a lot of TV...try to catch Grey's Anatomy, and Ugly Betty, (yes, I love chick tv, I can't help it!) and Heroes. Oh, and if I can, The Daily Show, and the Colbert Report.

Books:

If Nora Roberts wrote it, I own it. Yes, sad to admit, but I do love me some trashy romance novels! Now, that being said, I also love Ayn Rand, Ray Bradbury, Orson Welles, Jeanette Winterson, Collette, Georges Sand, and the plays of Eugene Ionesco. Again, my tastes are pretty eclectic.

Heroes:

Heroes, huh? when I was a little girl it was definitely Wonder Woman! As I've gotten older, though, I'd have to say that has been refined. Probably my Dad and Stepmom. I don't know how they do it, but they seem to find a way to balance everything - family, work, friends, etc. Its amazing, and I really aspire to that.

My Blog

as usual, bad blogger

As per usual, I am being my "bad blogger" self, but given all of the recent changes in my life, I think its prudent that I post some updates. First and foremost, for those who missed it, (and I don't ...

"If that's movin' up, then I'm movin' out!"

Ok, that subject doesn't REALLY apply, but like any good girl from LI, my love for Billy Joel supercedes the perfect relevance of the lyrics... ANYWAY - its almost moving day and I'm getting really ex...

Twas the Night Before Christmas
